Volunteering is a great way to make a difference in the community and in the lives of those who do not have a voice. At Dove Creek Equine Rescue we welcome those that want to help! We love our volunteers and there are opportunities 7 days a week to help feed, clean facilities, and groom horses. Volunteer opportunities will depend on your skills and experience.


If you have a talent or expertise that you think we could use and would like to offer it, please let us know. We appreciate your support!
